Story
Meet Gibby …This Chi-Weenie (Chihuahua/Dachshund) blend boy is 14 lbs. of pure love. He is two years old and was dumped (with who we believe is his mom) in a neighborhood. They made their way to a backyard and a kind family allowed them to shelter in their screened patio. Because they couldn’t care for the two young pups, they reached out to Poodle and Pooch. And this is where Gibby’s new chapter began.
General Behavior: This little fella is described by his foster dad as “bouncy, happy and a cuddle loving boy”. He is also described as “part Velcro” because Gibby loves to follow him from room to room, wherever he goes, whatever he does. Likes & Dislikes: If you ask Gibby what his favorite activity is, he will immediately reply, “cuddling”. He loves to relax on the couch or in bed with his human cuddling. And, if you throw in a belly rub, it’s the perfect combination for Gibby. Training: Gibby is housebroken when left out on a regular schedule. He has good basic manners and does good on car rides (but doesn’t love it like some dogs). He also walks well on the leash. Sometimes he wants to walk and other times he would prefer to just do his quick outside business and go back inside (where the cuddles take place). Medical: Gibby is in excellent health and will just require his monthly heartworm and flea prevention, like any other dog. Other Animals: Gibby does good with dogs of all sizes. When Gibby had a visit from another high-energy pup, he was initially shy, but did join in with playing. However, he mostly watched the other pup run around. He could easily fit into a home with or without another dog. Gibby also shows no interest in the older and grumpier cat in the home. Children: Gibby would be suitable in a home with respectful children. Because of his smaller size, the adult in the home should supervise younger children with Gibby. Home: Gibby’s favorite thing to do at home is follow you around to check out what you are doing. If you sit down on the floor, Gibby will gladly hop on your lap. When his new human leaves the home, he can be left alone for several hours without issue and has free reign of his foster home. Gibby will be excited when you return from being out and you will be greeted with some bouncy, tail-wagging moments. He would be suitable for a single-family home or an apartment/townhome. He hasn’t quite discovered toys yet but does love to play. At the end of the day, Gibby will gladly burrow into the “big person” bed for lots of nighttime cuddles. Grooming: Gibby is a low-maintenance fella and will just require brushing and nail trims. Overall: If you are looking for a chill dog who will bring joy to your life, Gibby might be the one for you. All he asks in return is love, and you guessed it . . . CUDDLES!
